it isn't legal above the mission bridge, fetoid . (at least I don't think so). I am not sure what the regs say for below. I know when I was a kid we used 2 hooks legally in tidal waters .......assume you still can. definitely illegal at lefarge though i'd say.

Now that I think of it they were probably checking for those treble hooks. Some lakes require single barb-less hooks but not all. All BC streams require single barb-less and fishing for any kind of salmon.
